The medical industry has been a hugely profitable industry since ancient times.

Especially after entering modern society, the importance of the medical industry is getting higher and higher, and the associated benefits are getting bigger and bigger.

And the more developed the economy, the higher the price of purchasing medical services.

For example, in country M, due to the existence of powerful medical interest groups, it is said that medical expenses are so high that 800,000 middle-class families fall into poverty every year due to a disease.

In country M, which has advanced science and technology and advanced medical technology, it costs 2,000 yuan to treat a common cold.

To give birth to a child, you need to prepare 50,000 yuan.

A minor operation such as appendectomy costs more than 8,000 meters.

Country M, which has always advertised freedom and democracy, is actually so democratic and free in terms of medical services for the majority of P citizens who have votes. The prices are so high that the middle class can easily fall to the bottom.

Even so, the performance of M country's medical level is still unconvincing to other countries, because a random outbreak of influenza sweeping M country can take away tens of thousands of P people's lives.

As for some established developed countries in Europe, the problem is not as serious as that of Country M, but there is also the problem of high costs.

Someone will definitely refute here: Western developed countries provide universal free medical services. This is a benefit that the people of country Z can’t even envy. How could a minor illness cost thousands of dollars? situation?

So it must be fake!

indeed.

In developed Western countries, free medical services do exist, and every citizen can make an appointment.

However, the process from making an appointment to enjoying free medical services generally takes more than two weeks, and it is very common to wait in line for two or three months.

Even if you queue up and get free medical services, as for the therapeutic effect of free medical services... it mainly depends on your personal luck.

Therefore, in Western developed countries, if a person wants to live a healthy and long life, on the one hand, he must rely on reasonable maintenance and exercise; on the other hand, it depends on whether the money in his pocket is sufficient.

In addition, according to statistics, the more developed a country's economy is and the richer its citizens are, the higher the proportion of the medical industry in the national economy will be.

For example, in country M, medical and health expenditure accounts for about 20% of the national economy.

In China, the proportion of medical and health expenditures in GDP is also over 17%.

The proportion of country Z’s expenditure on medical and health care is much smaller, accounting for about 6% of GDP.

The average medical expenditure level around the world is about 10%.

It can be seen that in the near future, the medical and health industry will become as important as the catering industry, daily consumption industry, real estate industry and other pillar industries, playing an extremely important role in the national economy.

The importance will grow.

After all, no one can guarantee eternal health or a lifetime without getting sick.

If you want to ensure eternal health, you need to pay a certain fee.

In this sense, all medical institutions are profit-making institutions, and the products they provide are the "health" that is essential for everyone.

The "Chuangshen Technology" company owned by Zhou Ming sells products that are also so-called "health".

It's just that the products provided by "Chuangshen Technology" are of better quality and lower prices. They are the king of cost performance in the same industry, so they are extremely competitive!

One of the most influential advertisements launched by "Chuangshen Technology" in China is: "Chuangshen Technology, no matter what the disease is, we can help you cure it within 100,000 yuan!"

In other words, no matter what kind of patient he is, no matter what disease he has, within 100,000 yuan, Chuangshen Technology can give you a healthy body.

This advertisement alone made countless colleagues gnash their teeth in hatred and cut off their financial opportunities.

In this way, in country Z alone, the medical and health market of more than 5 trillion yuan has been severely bitten by Chuangshen Technology!

Annual profits of more than one trillion yuan enter Zhou Ming's pocket.

But he is not satisfied with this!

He has bigger plans and ambitions!

The Chuangshen Technology in his hands not only wants to sell cost-effective "health", but also wants to sell highly profitable "lifespan"!

As for the profit margin of selling "life span", Zhou Ming only asked: How much money are you willing to pay for a 50-year life extension package?

If the price is 500,000... I guess most people should be able to get it if they think of a way.

If the price is 1 million... probably a small number of people can afford it.

If the price is 5 million... only about 5% of people can afford this amount of money.

If the price is 50 million... I am afraid that only a very small number of powerful people will be able to enjoy this service, which will accelerate social polarization and increase social injustice and unrest.

If it is not released to the outside world, kept in one's own hands, and is only for the enjoyment of himself and his internal staff, there is no doubt that in a few hundred years, Zhou Ming and the people around him will develop into a powerful class and use their longevity advantage to defeat All opponents extend their interests to every corner of the earth.

Eventually... take control of the entire earth.

Therefore, from the perspective of personal interests, out of the consideration of maximizing benefits, it is obviously the best choice to keep the life extension technology in your own hands, not disclose it to the outside world, and only allow yourself and a few people around you to enjoy it.

Because of doing this, Zhou Ming will most likely become the "Lord of the Earth" and dominate the entire earth in a few hundred years.

However, Zhou Ming rejected this option.

He still plans to introduce life-extension medical services to the outside world to meet his own needs in terms of monetary benefits, and strive to allow 20% of the annual GDP of country Z to enter Zhou Ming's pocket in the future (this proportion is not high, as shown in the copy of " Among the civilians in "Money Empire", the medical economic industry accounts for 40% of the total social economy).

Why?

Seeing this, someone will definitely ask why.

Is Zhou Ming's head broken? The good Lord of the Earth doesn't do anything, but is short-sighted and only stares at the bit of waste paper in front of him. Is he obsessed with money? Why is money so important in his eyes?

Of course not!

If Zhou Ming was simply pursuing making money, no matter how big the number was, he could get it quickly... He was not short of money at all.

To him, money is just a bunch of numbers of little use!

Then why is he so stupid? Why would he publish life-extending medical technology in a puzzling way, which can cause a global sensation, attract the envy and hostility of countless forces, and cause countless troubles?

What is he doing for this?

In fact, Zhou Ming didn't do it for anything in particular.

He just feels that the technology of life extension medical treatment is like a double-edged sword. Now that it has been created, it is better to announce it early rather than holding it in his own hands for a long time...then the harm will be less.

"With the explosive development of science and technology in Country Z, life-extending medical technology will be broken through by other medical institutions sooner or later in 2,300 years at most. I just gained a head start of two to three hundred years."

"Are these two to three hundred years enough for me to carry out a series of operations, suppress all opposition, and become the master of the earth?"

"It's unlikely. No one wants to have a master standing above them, and no one wants to control their destiny in the hands of others."

"What's more, I'm not interested at all in becoming the so-called master of the earth!"

"I don't have that much time to take care of the earth's affairs."

"On the other hand, if a so-called 'powerful group' appears around me, it will definitely cause me more trouble than help!"

"Tahara Hiroshi and others suggested not to publish the life extension medical technology. On the one hand, they want to avoid causing trouble for the company; on the other hand, they may have selfish motives. As researchers who study life extension technology, they naturally enjoy life extension services. Then, They became the first batch of 'transcendants' and the first batch of gods."

"When their life span is much longer than that of ordinary people, their mentality will naturally be different from ordinary people."

In the end, I don’t know whether their impact on the earth will be positive or negative.

In short, Zhou Ming, who has a deep understanding of human nature, came to the conclusion that it is generally negative and pessimistic. It is very likely that such a special powerful group born around him will eventually escape his control and be driven by individual careerists. He even regarded him as an obstacle and wanted to get rid of it quickly.

After all, Zhou Ming really didn't want to be the "Lord of the Earth"... This failed many people's expectations and even made them disappointed and despairing.

The destructive power generated by this will definitely act on Zhou Ming.

Therefore, the way to avoid internal conflicts is to announce the technological progress of life extension medical treatment to the outside world as early as possible, and to cut off some of the wrong ideas of people around you as soon as possible.

But as soon as this explosive news was released, he could really handle the global response and sensation, as well as the response actions taken by all parties?
